• Abstract: Most computer aided pathology detection systems rely on large volumes of quality annotated data to aid diagnostics and follow up procedures. However, quality assuring large volumes of annotated medical image data can be subjective and expensive. In this work we present a novel standardization framework that implements three few-shot learning (FSL) models that can be iteratively trained by atmost 5 images per 3D stack to generate multiple regional proposals (RPs) per test image. These FSL models include a novel parallel echo state network (ParESN) framework and an augmented U-net model. Additionally, we propose a novel target label selection algorithm (TLSA) that measures relative agreeability between RPs and the manually annotated target labels to detect the "best" quality annotation per image. Using the FSL models, our system achieves 0.28-0.64 Dice coefficient across vendor image stacks for intra-retinal cyst segmentation. Additionally, the TLSA is capable of automatically classifying high quality target labels from their noisy counterparts for 60-97% of the images while ensuring manual supervision on remaining images. Also, the proposed framework with ParESN model minimizes manual annotation checking to 12-28% of the total number of images. The TLSA metrics further provide confidence scores for the automated annotation quality assurance. Thus, the proposed framework is flexible to extensions for quality image annotation curation of other image stacks as well.

  The task of composed image retrieval (CIR) aims to retrieve images based on the query image and the text describing the users' intent. Existing methods have made great progress with the advanced large vision-language (VL) model in CIR task, however, they generally suffer from two main issues: lack of labeled triplets for model training and difficulty of deployment on resource-restricted environments. We propose Image2Sentence based Asymmetric zero-shot composed image retrieval (ISA), which takes advantage of the VL model and only relies on unlabeled images for composition learning.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) offers immense potential in the field of medical image analysis. Existing FSS techniques heavily rely on annotated semantic classes, rendering them unsuitable for medical images. We propose a novel self-supervised FSS framework that does not rely on any annotation. Instead, it adaptively estimates the query mask by leveraging the eigenvectors obtained from the support images.

  This paper presents a Self-supervised Low-Rank Network ( SLRNet) for single-stage weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) and semi-supervised semantic segmentation (SSSS) SLRNet uses cross-view self-supervision, that is, it simultaneously predicts several attentive LR representations from different views of an image to learn precise pseudo-labels. Experiments on the Pascal VOC 2012, COCO, and L2ID datasets demonstrate that our SLRNet outperforms both state-of-the-art WSSS and SSSS methods with a variety of different settings.

  Self-supervised vision transformers (SSL-ViTs) can be adapted to two important computer vision tasks in the low-label, high-data regime. For few-shot image classification we train SSL-ViTs without any supervision, on external data, and use this trained embedder to adapt quickly to novel classes with limited number of labels. For zero-shot image retrieval, we use SSL-ViTs pre-trained on a large dataset without any labels and fine-tune them with several metric learning objectives.
